The latest Elements doesn't run in wine. We tried it here for one of my wifes 
courses, but it wouldn't work and researching it indicated that the later 
versions of Elements simply do not work in wine currently.
Many apps do work - I have used wine for a few years for various games with 
varying levels of success - most work, but a couple - specifically Microsoft 
branded ones like Flight Simulator - don't want to know.
Photoshop will run - with a few minor issues, but not Elements for some 
reason.
I would run it in a VM I think - and scan stuff in Linux then transfer it to 
the VM.
